“The all-new Transit Connect has moved the game on for compact vans – and we are really proud to win this significant award again. The new Transit Connect is just as tough and hard-working as all our commercial vehicle range, and comes with smart new looks and much lower fuel bills.”

Pieter Wieman, chairman of the “International Van of the Year” jury, said:

“The all-new Transit Connect impressed the jury on a number of fronts, and above all by the fact Ford has succeeded in building a light van with a strong accent on economics – the vehicle is a good answer to the needs of small operators as well as big fleets to reduce the cost of transport of goods.”
